DFL. Definitions of Employment Status

POLICY

The college maintains standard definitions of
employment status and classifies employees for purposes of
personnel administration and related payroll transactions according
to the following definitions:

Exempt. Employees whose positions meet specific
tests established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state
law and who are exempt from overtime pay requirements.
Administration, faculty, and professional staff would be included
in this category. Individuals in this category would normally
receive employment contracts.

Non-exempt. Employees whose positions do not
meet FLSA exemption tests and who are paid a multiple of their
regular rate of pay for overtime, as required by federal and state
law. These employees are paid for actual time worked as recorded on
time sheets or time-clock cards. Employees in this category are
considered to be "at-will" employees whose employment can be
terminated at any time, with or without cause. No one has the
authority to alter this relationship in any manner, either written
or orally. Classified, Physical Plant, and all other non-exempt
personnel would be included in this category

Regular Full-time. All exempt employees and
employees scheduled to work a minimum of 30 _ hours or more per
week in an established job or position.

Regular Part-time. Employees scheduled to work
less than 37 _ hours per week in an established job or
position.

Temporary. Employees who are hired for a
pre-established period usually during peak workloads or for
vacation relief. They may work a full-time or part-time schedule.
They are ineligible for benefits and holiday pay.
